Motorola’s software upgrade timeline updated, DROID RAZR won’t be receiving Android 4.0 in the first half of the year

Motorola has hosted a page dedicated to informing customers of upcoming updates for as long as we can remember, and today they have just updated it. Some interesting news was included, like the fact that the international version of the RAZR will be receiving the latest Ice Cream Sandwich sometime in Q2 of this year. Then the bad news comes into play, like the fact that the DROID RAZR and RAZR MAXX are still under evaluation, with no information when an update may be coming.

Two other Verizon phones are still in the evaluation period, the DROID Bionic and DROID 4. Not good news for Motorola, Considering these phones have been their main flagships in the US. Not all is bad news however, as it appears that the Atrix 4G, Atrix 2 and Photon 4G will be receiving their updates in Q3. Considering that these phones don’t appear to be Motorola’s main assets, it’s good to hear that we at least have an expected time for their update to Android 4.0.

It’s disappointing to say the least, especially when other manufacturers have promised and already rolled out the update this quarter. Hopefully this means the updates will at least be stable and bug-free, but we aren’t holding our breath. Who owns a Motorola device on Verizon? Mad about the lack of update information? Let us know in the comments!

I couldn't have said it better myself Mark!

I had the glitching Galaxy Nexus and returned it for the DROID RAZR MAXX with the promise from the sales person at Verizon, Verizon's website and also Motorola's website stating that the RAZR line would be updated to ics towards the end of the first quarter. That was a lie. Myself nor anyone I know likes to be lied to. The way it's going as of now, when the RAZR line does get ics, it will already be outdated. I am getting very sick of being lied to by these assholes just to sell me an obsolete piece of shit that will still be obsolete after an upgrade. My RAZR performs perfect (Actually the best out of all the Android devices I've owed but, the fact of the matter is, we shouldn't be told lies just for these idiots to sell us expensive device that will never be up to date. I know it sounds kinda weird but, I think that there should be a class action suit against them for selling bogus claims to customers just too lure them into another 2 year contract with an already outdated device with a bogus promise of a performance enhancing upgrade. They knew damn well what they were doing, that's why the timelines have been removed or adjusted on their websites. Most of this shit is Verizon's fault, doing their so-called tests that Motorola has already done. You can see this by looking at Motorola's upgrade timeline. The non-Verizon RAZR gets the update in Q3, while Verizon's is still in the planning and evaluation. Total and utterly Bullshit! This just may be the straw that breaks the camels back between me, my 5 lines of service with Verizon and my 5 Motorola devices. I don't have this issue with my iPhone.

Yea,well thanks alot Motorola you are making it be an easy choice to switch from android to iPhone...all the Bologna you all put out hell,Jelly bean will be out bye the time you guys take your heads outta your greasy bumms...and I like my razr but tired of the BS..

I have the Razr as well. The Razr's not a problem for me, it's Android. If the new iPhone has at least a 4" screen with 4g, I just might be gone!

Hmmm... everything has been said I can only confirm these comments. As I heard, the best android phone is in samsung hands... "wassup samsung?"

This makes no sense why would they prolong the update nobody wants to wait that long once we get ics something else will be out that's why so many people leave android for iPhone I'm thinking about going back to my 4s since the ics will be delayed

Another good reason to go with apple in my next phone with regular update thru all the device android is just playing with people they will be the looser if they keep doing that!

Omg....so messed up. .....seriously thinking about dropping Verizon

Tooo late... Very depressed abt the news....

Thats it! Done verizon, done with Android. Here I come iphone

I have the Droid razr and I was told I shuld recieve it in later januarary or febuarary...and its march -__- and now there saying its gonna be just great

Why won't both Verizon and the international get the update asst the same time. Cause I have the Xoom also and was trying to figure out why the same device won't get the update asst the same time.

Fck u motorola. Why must u play with our emotions :,,,,,,,,, (

I've got the RAZR n works awesome just as it is? No updates needed here. It'd fast as hell already.
